Local Attractions near Hotel Rosary Garden
- Uffizi Galleries (3.02 km) - The sublime Uffizi Galleries house Italy's finest and largest art collection and are justifiably the prime tourist stop in Florence. Located on the banks of the Arno river, the museum boasts so many masterpieces that you could be forgiven for no longer being astounded by their craftsmanship by the time you reach the end. Artists featured range from Raphael to Rubens, Leonardo to Lippi and Michelangelo to Memling. Among the most well-known pieces are Botticelli's Primavera and The Birth of Venus, Michelangelo's Holy Family and Rembrandt's Self Portrait as an Old Man.
- Bargello Museum (3.01 km) - Florence's Bargello Museum houses the largest collection of medieval and Renaissance sculpture in Italy. Housed in the impressive Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, the museum has rooms dedicated to Renaissance masters such as Michelangelo, Verrocchio and Giovanni and Andrea della Robbia.
- Piazza della Signoria (3.07 km) - The Piazza della Signoria is the most enchanting square in Florence and is always buzzing with people. Beautiful Palazzo Vecchio (or Palazzo della Signoria), with its distinctive bell-tower, is the most recognisable building lining the square. Next door is the Loggia of the Lanzi, which houses some important Renaissance sculpture. The piazza is also renowned for its replica of Michelangelo's David (the original is kept at the Accademia gallery).
- Palazzo Vecchio (3.07 km) - Florence's Palazzo Vecchio is one of the symbols of the city. Originally home to the Florentine republican government, the ruling Medici then took over the palazzo for a few years and the lavish décor you can now see is largely due to their court artist Giorgio Vasari. Most rooms are elaborately frescoed by Vasari and Ghirlandaio and the Map Room (once Machiavelli's office) is lined by Renaissance paintings of all known world geography at the time. You might even encounter 'Vasari' himself who will explain his work. It is also worth booking a guided tour of the secret passageways the Medici family had built.
- Casa Buonarroti (2.54 km) - Fans of Michelangelo should not miss Casa Buonarroti. Many of his early works, including the Madonna della Scala and the Battle of the Centaurs, are displayed here at the former home of Michelangelo Buonarroti the Younger. There are also many works by other Italian artists inspired by Michelangelo's style and various elaborately frescoed rooms commissioned by Michelangelo the Younger in honour of his famous relative.
- Santa Croce (2.55 km) - The impressive Gothic church of Santa Croce is home to the tombs of some of Florence's most famous sons. Michelangelo, Galileo and Machiavelli are all commemorated at the former Franciscan headquarters, as is Dante (although he is actually buried in Ravenna). Santa Croce is also noted for the stunning frescoes in its chapels, painted by Vasari and his school, and the peaceful cloisters designed by Brunelleschi.
- San Miniato al Monte (1.97 km) - Florence's San Miniato al Monte church is the premier example of Romanesque architecture in Tuscany. The green and white marble façade inspired Alberti's design of the façade of Santa Maria Novella. Inside, works can be found by Italian masters such as Michelozzo, Luca della Robbia and Uccello. From here, the views across the red-topped roofs of Florence towards the Cathedral are spectacular.
- Fiorentina football stadium (2.76 km) - Italian Serie A football team Fiorentina play at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence. Matches are played almost every other weekend during the football season and the large 47,000 capacity means that tickets are usually fairly easy to come across (depending on the opponent).
- Museum of the History of Science, Florence (2.98 km) - Florence's interesting Museum of the History of Science is an important collection of historical scientific equipment. Among the exhibits collected by the Florentine Medici and Lorraine families are original telescopes, compasses and lenses used by Galileo. There are also some early electromagnetic and surgical instruments.
- Historical Football Match, Florence (2.63 km) - Florence's historical football match is a rather brutal affair battled out in Piazza Santa Croce. 27 teams representing Florence's four quarters battle it out for 50 minutes with a referee, aided by 6 linespeople, making sure that the complicated rules of the game are complied with. The game is cross between rugby and football. The players parade in historical costumes before the match and continue to wear their costumes during the game.
